President Obama's Summer Reading List Revealed: All the Light We Cannot See and More

It’s summertime, the living is easy and President Obama is finally getting caught up on his reading.

White House officials slipped the president’s summer reading list to pool reporters as the First Family enjoyed sun and sea at a private beach on Martha’s Vineyard Thursday.

The Obamas are in the midst of a 16-day vacation on the island, giving the president plenty of time to dig into both fiction (like Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller All the Light We Cannot See) and nonfiction (like Ron Chernow’s George Washington bio Washington: A Life). Here’s Obama’s complete reading list:

1. All That Is by James Salter2. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr3. The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert4. The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri5. Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates6. Washington: A Life by Ron Chernow

It’s unknown whether the president is reading actual books or using a digital device, but POTUS was spotted buying a hardcover copy of Lahiri’s second novel, The Lowland, shortly after its release in September 2013.
